Symposium DescriptionThe State-of-the-Science Stroke Nursing Symposium is a forum designed to provide current information for nursing and other healthcare professionals who treat patients and families in all phases of stroke treatment from the emergency department through rehabilitation. The symposium will update and inform the audience about nursing issues along the continuum of stroke care (ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke management, rehabilitation and program development.) The goal of the program is to share innovative best clinical practices that have been developed to optimize patient outcomes throughout the stroke continuum of care. A plenary program and break-out sessions are planned to meet educational needs for nurses and healthcare professionals at various levels of skill.

Learning Objectives• Describe evidence-based practices for stroke management and opportunities to better

collect and manage outcomes.• Discussthemechanismofaction,clinicaltrials,risksandbenefits,andappropriate

patient selection for recently approved anticoagulants available for stroke prevention and management.

• Implementexistingandnewrequirementsforcertificationaseitheraprimarystrokecenteroracomprehensivestrokecenter,withaspecificfocusontheroleoftheadvancedpractice nurse.

• DefineelementscommontoinstitutionsthathavesuccessfullyreducedtheirDTNtimeto less than 60 minutes and opportunities to integrate such approaches into their own institutions.

• Manage evidence-based approaches for stroke and identify opportunities to improve such efforts within their own centers.

• Illustrate opportunities to provide additional support and education for the caregivers of stroke patients, particularly men.

International Stroke Conference 2013

NEW! ISC Pre-Conference Symposium: Primary Care for Stroke Patients: A Surfside View

Tuesday, Feb 5

The Pre-Conference Symposium of the International Stroke Conference is designed to provide up-to-date information for healthcare professionals caring for patients with, or at risk for stroke. Each year, this one-day symposium highlightsscientificadvancesincerebrovasculardisease while emphasizing their application in the real world.

This year, the main focus will be for primary care clinicians in stroke prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Presentations will include the need for rapid assessment, diagnosis, and management of TIA; current guidelines and practice in the management of acute stroke; the appropriate use of warfarin and newer anticoagulants to reduce primary and secondary stroke risk; and post-stroke sequelae such as pain, fatigue, and depression and other opportunities to prevent and manage these conditions. This year, we will also include lunch with the experts where participants can dine and informally discuss cases or ask questions with our faculty.

Learning Objectives• Distinguish between mimics of stroke and/or

TIA.• Identify how to risk stratify TIA patients in the office.

• Review current guidelines for TIA/stroke investigations and treatments.

• Establish how to incorporate new anticoagulants in the treatment of cardioembolic stroke.

• Discuss how to identify and treat: post stroke depression, establish who can drive, and common post stroke pain syndromes.

• Describe long term management of the stroke patient.

The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association is grateful to the members of the ISC Pre-Conference Symposium 2013 Program Committee for their dedication and leadership provided throughout the year in planning the program.

Program DescriptionThe International Stroke Conference is the world’s largest meeting dedicated to the science and treatment of cerebrovascular disease. This 2½-day conference features more than 1,200 presentations that emphasize basic, clinical and translational sciences as they evolve toward a more complete understanding of stroke pathophysiology with the overall goal of developing more effective prevention and treatment. Sessions in clinical categories will center on stroke community risk factors, emergency care, acute neuroimaging, endovascular and nonendovascular treatment, diagnosis, cerebrovascular occlusive disease, in-hospital treatment, and outcomes of stroke. Sessions in basic science categories focus on vascular biology in health and disease, experimental mechanisms and models, and basic and translational neuroscience of stroke recovery. Further specialized topics include rehabilitation and recovery, pediatric stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, nursing, preventive strategies, vascular cognitive impairment, aneurysm, subarachnoid hemorrhage and other neurocritical management, vascular malformations, and ongoing clinical trials. Cutting-edge presentations on these topics attract a wide range of healthcare professionals and investigators including adult and pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurointerventionalists, neuroradiologists and interventional radiologists, physiatrists, emergency medicine specialists, primary care physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, rehabilitation specialists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists,pharmacists,andbasicresearchersspanningthefieldsofcerebrovascularfunctionanddisease.

Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of the International Stroke Conference, participants should be able to:• Identify recent advances in basic models of stroke and translational research.• Evaluate recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of cerebrovascular

disease.• Analyze new and ongoing clinical research advances through late-breaking science and ongoing clinical

trials sessions.• Communicate in the interactive exchange of new research, treatment and intervention with scientists and

investigators working in all areas of cerebrovascular disease.• Interpret the rapidly changing areas within the stroke spectrum such as emerging options for the

diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke, mechanisms of stroke recovery, and the impact of vascular cognitive impairment.

• Appraisethediversechallengespresentedbycerebrovasculardiseasetospecificpopulations,includingethnic and racial minorities, women, children, and developing communities.
